Maldives : climate and when to go to Male

The climate of the Maldives reflects a perfect image: sunny days, nights winded by trade winds, and mild and calm mornings. The temperature of the air is almost constant, oscillating between 84°F and 88°F throughout the year. The sun therefore heats up every day with an average temperature of about 86°F Celsius, a happiness against rheumatism.

The Maldives has two distinct seasons: the dry season from December to April and the wet season from mid-May to November. Thunderstorms are rare in the Maldives but rather occur during the monsoon months, breaking the perpetual heatwave. Warm temperatures allow you to go for a walk in the rain, or even bathe in the warm Indian Ocean water at 84°F all year round, but watch out for thunderstorms!

The Maldives are beach destinations, snorkeling (mask, snorkel, fins), diving in bottles and other nautical activities if the lagoon allows. Do not expect to rent a car, visit museums, think only of your beach towel and your sunscreen. There are a few excursions to fishing or inhabited islands and you will have to wear a uniform compatible with Islam so as not to shock the locals. Attention to the sun positioned at the zenith in Maldives, it is very strong and radiates to the maximum. Sunburns through the hair is a rare experience but one can remember for a long time.

Weather uncertainties 2019 to go to Male ?

In the tropics, these « storm » or « rain » pictograms indicate that tropical showers or stormy weather are possible. It is difficult to predict the exact local weather in the tropics. This is especially true by the sea and the beach. Consider that more than 180 mm of rain per month is the limit to enjoy the beach on vacation. So check this data provided for each month on the preferred destinations of this site.

When traveling in the tropics as a seaside, rain is not welcome. If you see this indicator, with possible storms, that does not mean that it will rain all day long. When we observe the local rainfall, it is either really zero or very weak. Meteorologists prefer to be pessimistic. So observe below, the skies photographed during a week announced stormy in Asia. It did not rain once. I invite you to integrate this parameter before going to Male for a good trip to the sun!
